I have non left, sold them all.

It is a stand pump though, but I don't think the motor factors know it.

Having a quick look, I think its the same as this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-DENSO-MITSUBISHI-FUEL-PUMP-LANCER-MAGNA-PAJERO-iO-TRITON-VERADA-EXPRESS-/251024890700

Sorry mis understood you.

I thought you ment fuel sender as in fuel pump

Not fuel sender as is fuel gauge pump



Anyway, I took a couple of non working ones apart yesterday as a local lad wants one. They stop working because:

Simple faults
The float has fallen out the end (will get no gauge or light)
The tube is kinked (level will stick on the gauge at some point)
Some of the wires at the top are broken

Less simple
The PCB tracks wear out where the float slides
The onboard resistors at the top brake off
Some one has cooked the resistors while messing with the wiring

Are you totally sure, that "I can't get the float to float"

I wonder how that has come about??

These definitely float in water, and will float even better in petrol!!

I have now kept those two floats in petrol for the last 48 hours, and they continue to float!

So if you want one I'm happy to send one to you, for £2 for the float and £3 postage.

I take paypal at threepopt@hotmail.co.uk
